Jericho !
 

You came to us darling Jericho as a wee babe, three weeks old and needing to be nourished from a bottle.  We spent many nights worrying if you would survive and if you did survive we wondered what special gifts you might share with us.

Balance was a difficult concept for you dear Jericho, falling off stairs, beds and counter tops.  You would never land on your feet as other cats do but you simply shook your head and off you went to find a new adventure for the day.

As the days turned into weeks and weeks into months and then into years your gift became clear; comforting a very sick little girl named Spirit, being a dear friend to Goldie and grieving her passing, cleaning a sick puppies ears, welcoming all the different canine's that walked through your home, teaching them that cats were to be loved.

You held little Cotton in your paws as she slipped away, you laid with Sargie as his days grew short and you comforted Sky when she became so ill. 

Your gift of healing dear Jericho was what you brought to this world and who would have known that 14 years ago a sickly wee kitten would be the one to ensure that a gentle purr was felt by those whose time on earth had come.

And now, your body is gone, no more sweet moments of your special meow, no more kind and gentle eyes that looked so filled with love and oh, how your best friend Georgia misses you and has yet to settle without you by her side.

Thank you dear Jericho for the gift of healing, for your gentleness and for your devotion to those who needed you.

Now it is your time to be with Dad and allow him to comfort you as you worry about those left behind, he will be blessed to watch you play like a kitten again, to hear your stories of life on earth and he will reassure you that those of us who miss you will be reunited again, one day.

Goodbye my darling Jericho.....be well now.

Love Mom, Dad and all your fur friends
